Jimmy Turns Hawaiian… The Big 5-O.

Me Knows Better Than to Say This… but I will. I decided to make this a quick blog and tout all the good things about turning 50 years old.

   1.  ??????

   2.  ??????

   3.  (Are there really any?)

I struggled with this concept until I arrived home to find my AARP membership application prominently displayed. My wife was responsible for this small act of supposed humor, but it did get me going with some brainstorming possibilities. So here is a list in Letterman’s Top 10 format.








Reasons Why Jimmy Should Embrace Turning 50 Years Old:

   10. Full fledge membership advantages with the AARP card are now possible.

   9. The excitement of receiving a lovely letter from my employer mentioning I am eligible for the “Executive Medical Examination Program.” (True email… I wonder what they want to check).

   8. A built in excuse for not remembering important appointments mentioned by my wife.

   7. If I hear something I don’t want to do, I can always claim hearing loss.

   6. When my daughter mentions something about the Old Man… I know it’s not the Hemingway novel.

   5. The gray hair looks better on a 50 year old rather than a 49 year old.

   4. I am now considered a shovel ready project under Obamacare.

   3. No need to explain eating supper at 4:30 in the afternoon.

   2. Discounted green fees at selected courses.

   And finally the number one reason to embrace turning 50…
   I can now play golf from the senior tees.
